Vadym Novynskyi Commented on Parliament's Address to Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople
Sometimes it is useless trying to bring a person to reason using words. They do not listen to the voice of common sense. They ignore logical arguments and persist in doing everything their own way.
Why did the Verkhovna Rada lay itself open to universal ridicule and adopt the Address to His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew? It has been repeatedly said that according to the canons of the Church, autocephaly can only be granted by the Mother Church, the principal church, which for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is the Russian Orthodox Church.
The document adopted by the Parliament is not only null and void from a legal point of view (as it contravenes the applicable law and was signed by the speaker, A.Parubiy, contrary to the Regulations), but it is also disastrously illiterate from a historical, canonical and theological viewpoint.

The transfer of Sofiya Kyivska’s Refectory to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate will leave it without its UNESCO Heritage Status – MP Novynskyi
Attempts by the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture to make the leadership of the National Reserve Saint Sophia Cathedral of Kyiv conclude an agreement with the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyivan Patriarchate for the free use of the national architectural monument – the Refectory (Malaya Sofiya) - will jeopardize the existence of an integral site and will lead to its losing its status as a UNESCO world heritage site, thinks Vadym Novynskyi, an MP and member of the Parliamentary Committee on Culture and Spirituality.
This decision was put forward by the Ministry of Culture completely disregarding public opinion, representatives and experts from the professional community, as well as the representative office of UNESCO in Ukraine and other international organizations responsible for the protection of monuments and cultural heritage.
